Whoa! Great week for the Derby Trail cappers! +43.5%
This week 167 picks were made, so that's $1002 in bets. We collected a whopping $1437.40, for a monster gain of 43.5% for the week. This is the first week "we" made money at all. But it wiped out a good chunk of our losses.

Through the first 28 races of the contest:
# of picks: 1561
Amount bet: $9366
Amount collected: $8060.80
Overall % return: -13.9% (now beating the track take!)

The number of cappers showing an overall profit jumped from 11 to 19. The top 16 contest leaders are showing a profit on their picks. #18, #20 and #22 are also showing a profit.

Invisible? No. 41st place? Yes. Go back to DC's posting from weekend.

Dunbar shortened list for his profitability analysis. Very interesting look. Hey, I will gladly take my $76.40 show payoff care of Dynamic Wayne. DW is now in my SHOW BET Hall of Fame. I have had some near $50 show scores. My grandmother who passed away in 2005 would extremely happy!

You're welcome, MaTH716. I agree it's interesting, and I'm having fun doing it. I thought we were doomed to a below-the-tracktake end result, but this week surprised me.
